Book Review: Love, Lies and Lullabies by D.E. Malone


Series: Blueberry Point Romance: Book 3
Release Date: April 29, 2021
Genre: Clean Contemporary Romance

A class reunion. An unrequited love. And the small-town roots that never let go of the heart.

When big-city accountant Wynne Terry dreamed of her future, it looked like the one she’s living. Then an invitation to her high school reunion lands in her mailbox and curiosity beckons her to return for the first time in fifteen years. It has nothing to do with seeing her childhood best friend who unwittingly stole her heart. At least, that’s what Wynne tells herself.

Chase Ford’s regrets come back to haunt him when Wynne walks into his life again. Marrying the first girl who turned his head in high school was mistake number one. Turning his back on Wynne when she needed him most was another. If it’s forgiveness he’s looking for, Wynne may give it to him. But raising his daughter and keeping the ever-elusive Wynne from turning his loveless life upside down take precedence over pleasing his conscience.

When Wynne discovers there’s more to Chase’s story than she bargained for, she wonders if her heart can stand being broken again. But maybe a once-in-a-lifetime love is worth the risk.

Revisit the Blueberry Point series and find out why readers love these sweet, light-hearted romances.

My Review 💜

Such a cute story!!  The nostalgia from Love, Lies and Lullabies was definitely vibing with me.  A high school reunion brings Chase and Wynne back into each others lives after fifteen years, forcing each of them to face each other, and the unresolved issues that split their lifelong friendship apart so long ago.

I loved the high school reunion angle!  I had my 20 year reunion a few years ago and while I was able to attend I did get to see photos and man did it bring back some memories!  I can totally relate to the whole "high school regrets" thing...actually I think most of us can!  I had a few crushes that I wish I could go back and tell my feelings to, and I caught myself daydreaming several times while I was reading, wondering if and how my life would be different if I would've acted on those feelings.  Suffice to say, I was surprised with what a thought and daydream-provoking read this was for me!

The unique friendship between Chase and Wynne is another relatable bond to this novel.  D.E. Malone always does an incredible job of capturing my imagination and Love, Lies and Lullabies is no exception.  The writing put me into that world, and made me fall even more in love with this delightful town and its charming inhabitants.  It is the perfect length and was a seemingly quick read for me, which is a major plus right now for me.

Love, Lies and Lullabies is an all-around enjoyable read that I highly recommend!
